I must say these rims look alot better on the car. I really didn't like them when you first posted a pic of them in the other thread. It's not my style but they look pretty good and I think it looks alot better on black than the white GS from the youtube link. And I bet it looks a whole lot better in person too. Keep up the good work.

Any rubbing issues? Is your GS an AWD or RWD?
And any specifics of tires and offsets would be appreciated.

Very nice. I considered putting 22's on mine, but didn't want to go with a tire that slim. Are those 25 series tires? Mine rub a little with 255/35's, so I can't imagine being able to slip 22's on it without 25 series tires...

thanks alot bro. yeah the car looks amazing in person. i am getting rubbing in the back and a little in the front. i believe i need to roll the front fender or scrape up one of the metal pieces that stick out next to the fender inside. the back i still cant figure out what is touching when i hit little dips.
offset are front 245/30zr22 and rear is 285/25zr22.

Not a fan of the wheels but I do like the drop and stance and the wheel fitment looks really good

What's it riding like on those wheels/tires? I found that my car rides just as smooth on flat surfaces with the new wheels, but there is a noticeable difference when I hit larger bumps...I guess that is only to be expected though when you go from 17" wheels to 20" wheels

tsavo, truthfully there is this slight bump near my house that just goes across the whole street. when i hit it with my stocks i feel more of a hit than with my 22s. with the 22s it goes smoother but don't get me wrong hitting a pot hole is a different story lol.

mad props to you man lol you're not afraid to drive in Brooklyn on 22's! I can't even convice myself to get 20's, I'm afraid that the wheels won't survive these roads for too long.

damn man the car looks as amazing as I thought it would when we discussed the drop. The thing could do a magazine cover now. I looked up the sizes for you on the white GS and he is running a 265/30/22 rear. I hope that helps
